Hmm, pot on rock is bad but (root over) rock in pot is good. I guess I'll
never be an expert. Oh well, it still looks good to me. I also put wood
stands on wood tables. That looks good to me sometimes too. silly amateur
me.

Subject: [IBC] Carving slate

I found some slate floor tiles and used the wrench method to shape them
into
slate slab stands for small bonsai and companion plants.....
It's worth looking for slate for this purpose, the stands are great.

At Bill Valavanis' fall symposium, Shinji Suzuki criticized some trees that
were displayed that way for "having stone (pot) on stone". I agree they
look great, but he is an expert.
